I wouldn't be shocked if we did.

We slacked off and then brightened up some. Charlotte will have the ball and is up 22-21 with 7:24 left in the half.

[UNTFan23]

That corner 3 has been open for weeks now.

I believe the great Chris Davis is in the house! Hoping for some love to bring home the victory and then potential 8 seed.

Thanks, got busy with other stuff.

Our ball, Benford calls TO, 38.6 left and we trail 36-32.

Brown with a last second 3 to close the gap to just one point, 38-37 Charlotte at the half.

Half

Brown hits a deep 3 as the buzzer sounds.

[Army of Dad]

Decent start to the half, 47-46 UNT at the first media, 15:13.

Katenda just working their #25, powers us to a 60-53 lead, 11:52.

Benford calls TO (probably to replace Ricky). We still lead 66-63, 7:26.

Now we hit the media TO, 5:51 left and we are holding on to a slim lead 68-67.

[Army of Dad]

Benford calls timeout leading 78-77, 1:54 left.

Charlotte TO, still 78-77, 45.7.

[Andrew]

Victory!

[Army of Dad]

Eric iced it with a pair of FTs, we win 80-77.

[TreeFiddy]

Light the tower already. UNT wins!

[KRAM1]

Really nice win for the Mean Green!  Several players stepped up in Combs' absence.  Nice to send our seniors out with a win in their final home game.  As far as crowds go this season, not a bad one.  Would have been nice to have had a better crowd tonight...some more students would have helped.  Nice win Mean Green!  Good luck in the tournament.

[GrandGreen]

Team played very hard tonight.   Reese and Johnson had as usual solid games, but the others came up big.  Katenda was on fire and would be the game mvp, Brown keeps improving.  Even some very good minutes from Fuller, White-Pittman and Ward.    Brice didn't get a lot playing time with Katenda being so hot, but had some moments.

They are probably one and out in the tourney, but I think they will put up a fight. 

 

[THOR]

Will play wky in the early game...

Regardless of anything else, it was a good win last night and the team deserves credit for beating a good opponent.

I'm happy for the team...but check your opponent facts.

[Matt from A700]

Yeah just because we lost to an opponent by 24 (right?), it doesn't mean they're a good team. It means we suck major basketballs on the road.

Exactly. That opponent would not be confused with Kansas or UAB or UALR or even UTA.
